As long as you remain at or above 65 hours for the next month, you can trade in and out of any weekend or holidays as you wish. Or group 8-10 days off in a row. And you can always pick something back up later especially on critical days where you'll get 4 hours min pay at 1.75 the pay rate for the entire trip you picked up.

How will SAP be affected when the company is properly staffed? Any ideas?

Ok thanks. What's the average days off per month?

Properly staffed??? Good one :) either way sap won't be affected. Your ability to pick up critical times will be though. You'll only get 1.25x pay and no min hour per day for the pick up. So ideally you can still drop your trips, pick it up and fly it at 25% override.

11-12 on reserve. 11-19 as line holder.

Critical Day pay is 1.5. The company is finding ways to make a day NOT go critical too.

What is the definition of a "critical day"?

Or let it go critical within 48 hours so they don't have to pay squat.
Also they are setting the buffers at the equal to level of reserves. What this means is that they are denying any trip trades.

What's their end goal number of pilots? It's seems if you were hired today at seniority number 900 (about the number on property) and they eventually plan to be at around 1400 then how is it possible that you would be upgrading in a year let alone 8months? I understand bypasses and CFIs (without 1000 SIC) but if you started today at #900 for you to be over half the seniority list would take some time I would think. If you started 8months ago then your seniority number was probably closer to 540 (45 a month) so I get why those people are upgrading now. But for people hired today it seems to me that try will not see upgrade in a year.
